Is Las Colinas a boring place to live? Seems very suburban but also central to a lot of cities. I’m a single F in my mid-thirties but not super into nightlife. Thoughts? Suggestions? Work in downtown.

My office is in las Colinas but I live downtown. I don’t dislike las Colinas, but it does really give off an industrial “cookie cutter” vibe like everything was preplanned for commercial use and doesn’t have a lot of culture. Super close to a lot of great spots and a quick shot to downtown so I’m sure you’d be happy there. Can’t speak to grocery store availability etc., but a lot of great Indian restaurants!

That’s the beauty of DFW, you get plenty of nice things and peaceful home at the same time. However you might wanna check out plano west (around shop at legacy area) if you want something a bit more fun and also center ish

Takes minimum 40 minutes to get downtown from Plano West during high work traffic times.

It's a little boring and might not be as central if you stay on the Dallas side. If you want a little more going on and Central to Dallas, look at Addison as an alternative.

Nice area, not boring but expensive cost of living. I don’t know your budget but if it works financially for you, it’s nice.

It’s nice and quiet. I live in Plano and I don’t club, mid-30’s as well, my job is in Grand Prairie, I love my quiet life. I travel when I want to have fun outside of the DFW area. I used to live in the downtown area of Dallas and I hated it after the 3rd year of being there. What are some hobbies you like to do?

Although I know you don’t need to pass the patent bar to “technically” do patent litigation, would it be a dead end move to pursue patent litigation without a technical degree / admission to the patent bar? In other words, would most BL firms refuse to staff associates on patent litigation cases if they don’t have a technical degree?

Can anyone help me understand this better?

Hey Dallas folks!

I want to get to know the local private companies. I worked at a private company with 2-3k employees before my MBA. They had an amazing culture, but limited progression opportunities. I'm thinking about looking for a smaller company (couple hundred to couple thousand employees) in the Dallas area and looking to find an amazing culture.

Anyone have recommendations on companies with great cultures in the Dallas/north of Dallas areas? (I live in the Plano/Allen/Mckinney area)
